| You Play the Girl: On Playboy Bunnies, Stepford Wives, Trainwrecks, & ... by Carina ChocanoFrom Pretty Woman to Frozen, Carina Chocano (a staff writer for Salon) digs into portrayals of women in popular culture over the last 50 years. In addition to her insightful analysis of topics such as sexuality, motherhood, and women in the workplace, Chocano offers personal anecdotes from her own childhood, when she was unmoved by the Disney princesses popular among her peers, and her current efforts to raise a confident daughter. It's "entertaining, engaging, [and] enlightening," says Kirkus Reviews; if you want a similar exploration focused on science fiction, try Kameron Hurley's The Geek Feminist Revolution. |
